He, with all others, should also remember that it waa a iiepublican Legislature that passed the road law of 1881, and that it was that year that he woiked the roads in; the spring and also paid $2 taxes in the spring of 1882 for the same year, thereby doubling his road tax for that year.

a place he desired in order that he might lie at his home, in Newcastle, where also reside some of bis children. Foot Fads. Monday night last, a couple of tramps were in the city, and made themselves extremely obnoxious bj accosting several persons, their intentions presumably being ioMery. Several persons were addressed by these but fortunately the scoundrels did not succeed in their designs. The night watchman was notified, but failed to capture the offenders.

Tuesday morning. Marshal Baumgartner placed under arrest two burly specimens of the tramp brigade, and locked them in the calaboose. They begged pileously for their freedom, and after the had somewhat departed from their carcasses, they were started out of town at a lively gait. What Does This liean? It is well known that for a long time the Wabash papers have been quite free in their criticisms of Hunt- ington and we have borne with them until the yoke has heconie too heavy and forbearance has ceased to be a virtue. We might possibly have withheld our righteous indignation yet lbnger, but for the appearance in tfie Courier last week of the 1 olio wipg slanderous article, headed "Comiug Events: We have been promised full particulars of a "loving not wisely but too well! case which will be partially de valoped next week at LaGro.

The female iu the case is a buxom widow, around who3e feet already cluster three bright and interesting, little kids. The wicked man is an attorm whose shingle is vibrated by the breezes which sweep over the wicked town of Huntington. As the lascivious disciple of Blackstone is a married man, and his wife is reputed to be a woman of vingarish propensities, a lively time is anticipated. The widow will shortly add a fourth "resposibility" to her household, aud we have it from one Of her intimate friends tbas it is her intention to insist upon the Huntington petlfogger who led her astray coming down handsomely, and in the event of his refusal she will seek to have her wrongs redressed in the courts. Let the dance proceed, as it is time those Huntington mashers were being taught that it is daugerous business to invade Wabash county in search of yictims.

If they must 'ahiiiny" let them 'shinny" on their own side. Now, Lee, we do earnestly protest, and only account for the state ments, made in the above paragraph by Attributing it to the fact that you had been indulging in too much of that "celebrated California snake- root," once recommended by jou to the eMitor of this paper. We want it distinctly understood that the at torneys of this city are as chaste and innocent as unborn babes, and we are shocked beyond measure that such reflections as are insinuated in the aboye quoted item are cast against them. Banish the thought that any such charge can be substantiated against any' of the Huntington at torneys! Now, had the charge statel it as a medical man we would be a little more cautious in our assertions, as some of the medical men have proven themselves to be bold, bad mashers, wjiose proclivities to ''shinny en lead them down to the secluded retreat within the confines of Wabasli county but our legal men, never! Say you made an error, Lee, and relieve our at such an imputation. A Bad Explosion.

Wednesday afternoon of last week, a messenger rode hastily into the city and summoned Dr. A. II. Shaffer to the residence of Peter Conkle, in the north part of Clearcreek township, stating that he had been seriously injured while blasting a rock. We learn of the accident as follows: Mr Conkle was engaged in splitting large boulders to be used for the foundation of a building he intends bp erect, and to accomplish this would drill holes iu the rock and then blow them open wilh blasting powder.

He had drilled in one to a depth of about six inches, and was engaged in tamping down the powder, when it is probable the drill which he used as a tamper struck a piece dint and ignited the charge. At any rate, a premature explosion occurred by which Mr. C. was knocked to the ground senseless' and quite dangerously injured His clothes caught on fire but these were extinguished, not, however, until of his hands aud arms were badly burned. His face was also seriously hurt and burned, but perhaps the most severe injuries resulted to his eyes.

Almost the full charge entered these members, badly cutting them, and it was feared that the sight had been entirely destroyed. His condition is now much improved, however, and, it is believed he will entirely regain his vision. A boy who was standing near at the time of the explosion was also knocked down the concussion, but sustained no injury. "Wtlch is Why We Whoop. The census of the voters of this city has been completed by Messrs.

Dungan and Grim and from the reports furnished us by the gentlemen, we learn that the voting population of the First ward is 431; of the Second, 673 of the Third, 333; making a total voting population of 1,437 inside the citv limits'. Of this number seven are colored men. This census lias been taken with much care on the part of the enumerators, and can be relied upon as Allowing the usual average, it places the present population of the city at more than seven thousand. By the census" of 1880, Huntington contained a popu lation of 3,803, and by this can be the more clearly seen the evidences of the prosperity on which we have entered. AR-d'm of from 2 500 to 3,000 in the lapse of two short years is, indeed, something almost phenomenal and the fact that Ibis gaiu still continues givVs abuuddi.t cause for With the same ratio of increase in the next few we will far distance many of the cities in the Sta'e, as we have alrfady shut out many jealous would-be rivals qf neighboring localities.
